Paperback. Condición: Good. From 1997-1999 Donovan Kelly wrote a column for the Washington Post called Crummy But Good in which he reviewed local eateries that looked dubious from the outside, but that offered something beyond the ordinary on the inside. His popular column, the ongoing radio series (WAMU-FM) and the never-ending suggestions from his legion of crummy-but-good scouts are brought together for this first compilation of reviews of the 50 best establishments meeting the highly technical crummy-but-good criteria. Crummy means a place that looks so bad from the outside that you would hesitate to take your mother inside, especially if she were wearing her good dress. But Good means that, once inside, you find some combination of a good menu, good food, relaxing atmosphere, friendly people, and reasonable prices that makes you want to come back. And maybe bring your smart aleck brother from New Jersey who thinks he's seen everything. The restaurants are located in DC, and nearby and not so nearby Maryland and Virginia, and West Virginia. Included is a completely unbiased (?) list of the ten best places as well as a chronicle of the ongoing, ever-controversial Crummy but Good Crabcake War.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Dr. Susan Miller s passion is to empower women with effective compelling communication skills so they can articulate and achieve their goals, communicate their needs, and master the art of being heard where it counts. Be Heard the First Time is an operator s manual for oral communication and shares the seven key skills of all competent speakers, plus Dr. Miller s proven strategies for breath and pitch control. For beginners, she shows how to focus on posture, presence, comfort level, and the message itself. For the more skilled speaker, Dr. Miller provides effective strategies for combating dry mouth, retrieving words, and answering aggressive questioning when faced with a high-level public meeting or press conference. Be Heard the First Time promises to help reticent women walk, stand, or sit powerfully, even if you feel insecure; like the sound of your voice; breathe deeply and slowly when you are anxious; say the last word of a sentence without trailing off; express your opinions, desires, and experiences clearly; vary the loudness, pitch, and duration of your voice when speaking; entertain others with stories, presentations, and tall tales; finish your statement without interruption; interview, clarify, object, debate, and negotiate powerfully; and respond assertively to criticism. Now the soft-spoken patent attorney, for example when promoted to the CEO position can quickly learn how to make a confident and visible entry to a conference or reception room, and how to speak quite differently than she did before her promotion. And, for those aiming for promotion, this book reveals how to be heard the first time so you can achieve your goals.REVIEWS Local voice and communication consultant Susan D. Miller wants you to speak with authority.Breathe deeply, don't trail off, express yourself clearly, be assertive when criticized.It's not just about your voice, Miller says. It's about your appearance, your manner, and your way of dealing with feeling less than confident. Washington Business Journal, Washington Business Journal, 2006/03/10When women are promoted or move up in power, too often they find they aren't taken seriously when they speak, author Susan Miller says. Why? Maybe they don't know how to enter a conference room confidently. Or they might be too soft-spoken. The answer, Miller says, isn't speaking louder. It's speaking better. Miller discusses seven skills, ranging from controlling one's breath to how to listen to others.Indianapolis Star, Indianapolis Star, 2006/03/22Dr. Miller's background as a voice trainer lends to chapters which survey the finer points of public speaking, with chapters covering how to clarify speech, enunciate clearly, and project the voice. Polish speaking skills and professional skills alike with BE HEARD THE FIRST TIME which also works for the home. Midwest Book Review, Midwest Book Review, 2006/04Susan Miller, a voice coach, teaches speaking strategies that include breath and pitch control. The author of Be Heard the First Time: The Woman's Guide to Powerful Speaking, says women often underestimate how important posture and presence are in delivering a message. Another tip: Be aware of your voice volume. You'll get the right level by comparing your volume to other speakers. Co-workers will tune you out if you speak too softly and get annoyed if you speak too loudly. Either way, the message gets lost.Orange County (CA) Register, Orange County (CA) Register, 2006/05/21 Women often precede statements with humbling remarks and sometimes speak so timidly that they re not noticed at conference meetings, Susan D. Miller writes in Be Heard the First Time. . . Miller shares these tips. Triangle Magazine, 2006/07/01 Talk Is Cheap in Politics, But a Deep Voice Helps To gauge what the candidates' voices say about their appeal, The Wall Street Journal asked Washington voice coach Susan Miller of VoiceTrainer LLC to analyze the voices of seven Democrats and five Republicans by pitch, speed, and two measures of variability -- how loud and soft their voices are, and how high and low they go The vocal-cord primary, like the campaign itself so far, is inconclusive. But our unscientific poll of Ms. Miller and other leading voice experts suggests: Among the Republicans, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's and television actor Thompson's baritones win on authority, but lose on energy. On the Democratic side, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama's voices convey caring. But Mrs. Clinton can sound shrill and Mr. Obama can lack forcefulness. Wall Street Journal, 2007/11/03.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Afternoon tea conjures up both feelings of elegance and gentility. It is, after all, synonymous with civility and blessed with the endearing quality of being part of the world's enduring cup of humanity. The customs and courtesies associated with this most civilized ceremony, however, are disquieting to the uninitiated. Fear of committing tea faux pas is on the upturn, as tea is now serving not only a social function, but a professional one as well-an alternative to the business lunch or dinner. This has created an unprecedented demand for learning the essentials of tea etiquette as executives meet in hotel lounges to discuss business over a cup of tea.This book includes tea history, tea and health information, steeping guides, as well as elements of both social and business tea etiquette. The authors have given you all the information needed to either serve or be served at a host of tea occasions.…
